Film & Photo Shoots at the Green Building

The Green Building is available as a filming location in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Our original exposed brick, wood beam ceilings and rustic charm make for an industrial backdrop for your film production or photo shoot. Use our venue as a character in your scene or as holding for talent and crew while you shoot close by.

Because we offer indoor and outdoor space, the Green Building can often be styled to look like multiple locations and backdrops, each with a unique vibe. And our sister venue across the street 501 Union can be used as additional holding; no need to shuttle your crew around to different locations!

Our pricing varies depending on the size and scope of your project. Please request a quote to schedule a location scout.
